Lord God Almighty,
At Your Word, the world happened. You spoke, and life
came. With Your words, You created.
You are the Author of creation, the Author of life.
You sent us the Word to dwell among us, to be with us, to
be one of us. Your Word became flesh, and took on human skin, and paid the
highest price so our wandering souls could be Yours again. You left for us Your
written Word so that we might know You.
Your spoken Word breathed life in the beginning; Your begotten
Word redeemed life that was lost. Your written Word reveals truth so we might
thrive in this world and in the next.
Almighty God, there is power in Your Word.
Please draw us to Your written Word so that we might be
drawn to You. Speak Your Word into our hearts, so that we might love and
worship You. Enable us to live out Your Word, so we might bring Your Word to
others. Help us believe Your every Word.
Thank You, God, for Your Word, and may we have an
insatiable hunger for it.
Amen
John 1:1-5, NLT
Prologue: Christ, the Eternal Word
1 In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He existed in the beginning with God.
3 God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.
4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,[a]
and his life brought light to everyone.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.[b]
